For a first time guide on SMITEFire Deezskills NL’s guide for Thanatos really is a cut above the rest (sorry couldn’t help myself). Also for someone who’s first language isn’t English it’s easy to read and allows you to get to get the information you need. The guide is nicely formatted throughout, with sections dedicated to skills, items, and combos. Each section is also accompanied by the author's thoughts on why a certain ability, combo, skill, and item was chosen. It’s done with spoiler code which allows you to simply hide the added text when you’re finished.

SorenNoKitsune’s guide for Ratatoskr is without a doubt beautiful, filled with amazing formatting, images, and exceptionally good layout. All this helps make the guide easy to read, which is important because SorenNoKitsune goes into great detail about Ratatoskr’s items, skills, combos, build examples and gameplay stages. There’s even a change log to allow you to see what’s been swapped out or altered over the previous patches.

Bernardozomer goes into concise, easy to follow information on the strengths and weaknesses of Sobek’s skills: when you should use them, how they help you and your teammates, and when you should level them.

Expecto Patronum’s guide for Fafnir really let’s this god shine. It has the necessary information you’ll need to master this god while not being overly burdened with extensive details.

You’ll find explanations as to why one item should be picked over the other as well as which gods benefit best from Fafnir’s skills.

It really shouldn’t be a surprise that the Goddess of the Hunt won one of the spots in this category, should it? And xZeroStrike’s guide for the goddess stands above the rest. After the introduction you’re greeted with a detailed explanation of Artemis’s pros and cons, followed by an extensively detailed section on Artemis’s abilities, when and how to use them and what sequence to use them in with other abilities. This same level of detail follows through on the items section, the match up and synergies, and the how to play section as well. Finally, there’s a great summery section to hit on some of the key points to the Goddess of the Hunt.

Shlappz’s guide for Medusa hits all the hallmarks of a great guide. It’s clear, concise, coded well, and has everything you’ll need to know in order to stop the enemy dead in their tracks. There’s even a lore section to the guide which has a humorous end. Shlappz also includes the base stats of Medusa to allows you to understand why he picks certain items over others. Speaking of item picks :the section has detailed explanations as to why you should pick an item when facing a certain god or overall team composition.

SmiteFire & Smite

Smite is an online battleground between mythical gods. Players choose from a selection of gods, join session-based arena combat and use custom powers and team tactics against other players and minions. Smite is inspired by Defense of the Ancients (DotA) but instead of being above the action, the third-person camera brings you right into the combat. And, instead of clicking a map, you use WASD to move, dodge, and fight your way through the detailed graphics of SMITE's battlegrounds.
